Hi there
Hoping someone can help me out with some info regarding Lake Simcoe whitefish....
Need info on a boat ramp and possible starting point, oh do they still have a crazy launch fee for non-residents.
If you are uncomfortable sharing to the board, please PM me.
Have a great day
Thank you
Sibalds might have crazy summer time prices you can check online and pay for a pass if the price is decent. I can send you spots there
Beaverton they are getting some going after the perch and lots of parking not sure about paying . Wouldn't have a clue where to start but maybe not that far off. Couple of years ago some were caught from shore on the opener I highly dout they will be that close with the temp we have had this season.
If Jackson's point or island Grove work there is fish everywhere in between. I can also send you to a few spots in those areas aswell.
Good luck if you get out.

Thanks for the info, hoping to get out with my brother if the weather holds. We are not sure where we would launch out of yet as there are a few options coming in through PM.Quote:

You figure out where you're launching?

No, so my brother and I have been debating on what to do, so with no real clear answer, we are heading down to Lake Ontario Grimsby area for some Lakers, Salmon and possible browns this weekend.Quote:

innisfil beach still not officially open, as of last weekend, just parking fee.
barrie launch also open. just have to pay parking.
both good access to deep side of the kemp.
after years and years of chasing salmon on lake O, ive relocated to simcoe ... going to try my luck this weekend.
Good luck
I was going to pm you some way points if you ended up on the east side for a starting point.

Thanks, will take you up on that offer if we head out there next week. My brother is a littler nervous about going out without direction :(Quote:

We ended up going out of fisherman's pier area, and ended up getting one shaker...... Very, very slow day for us. Hope you all had better luck
So pretty quiet on the whitefish/laker talk even on the simcoe forum. Going out tomorrow to try my luck Launch out of sibbalds and be heading west hoping for some fish and chips for dinner. Any thoughts where to start?
well at least I know why there's been little chatter about whitefish. Was a bit disheartening when there was only 2 other trailers in the parking lot. When it was hot barely could find a spot. Anyways boot out to check a few spots. Lake was surprisingly choppy for the little wing. Had a hard time anchoring up but the lake calmed down in a hurry. Relief was short lived as the midges started to swarm in mass. A few bumps but nothing solid, only thing to surface was a couple of gobies. Packed it in by noon.
Now the public service announcement.
Got the boat on the trailer pulled up the ramp as always stopped to check the boat was seated properly and while there pulled the plug as usual. Pulled the boat off the ramp and parked it in the prep area. As i was getting out of the jeep the CO's pulled up. Pulled the wallet to show 'em the card. Only gave it a passing glance as they were more interested in the boat. Usual"catch anything' was replied with "a couple of gobies in the bucket". Again just a passing glance as they seemed eager on something else. The target..... live well and plug check. I'm sure had they been in a ticket would of been issued as they seemed intent on getting the message out to pull the plugs. So if you're not in the habit you BETTER DO SO !
